strange problem after a lockright install!
 

Well here is the problem, driving down the hiway if i get on the gas hard my jeep will pull to the right. If im at speed and back out of the gas the jeep will pull left. Its only done this since i installed the lock right auto locker. With the factory open diff i never had this issue. Also checked and double checked tire pressures and had a four wheel alignment done about 1000 miles ago.

jeep, 95 cherokee

3" lift add a leaf in rear and coils and 1 3/4" spacer up front (winch and bumper)
pro comp adjustable track bar and steering stabilizer.
4.0 engine, aw4 trans and np231 case.
entire front axle rebuilt (new bushings and links...factory)
4.10 gears, new steering box and a 1.5" drop pitman arm.
and the lock right.........

will it pull constant when you are on the gas or just a jerking motion and settle out?

It will track in a line perfect if a constant load is on the drive train. its when i get off the gas or get on it it will track off.

thats normal. well i should say its normal for my detroit locker. if its not uncontrollable, then i wouldnt worry about it.

Mine does the same thing its normal

thats how a locked rear drives on the street. Its predictable, get used to it

I would call that torque steer.

My lockright is the same, actually thought all lifted jeeps did this. ZJ sway bar has helped alot on the wandering

Totally normal, My TJ, an YJ did it Now that my XJ is locked it does it

also noticed in your setup you listed you didn't mention anything about a new or modified track bar.

Just this alone at 3 lift will make one wheel stick out farther. If one side of your front wheels are not sticking out farther, then you have other suspension related parts that are worn (ball joints, Tie rod ends, etc) that are absorbing the misalgnment. And this could also help exacerbate tourqe steer.

Some torque steer is normal with a locker or spool, also if you have recently installed the lift I suggest loostening, oiling and re-torquing to rear axle u bolts. If these are loose, you will have torque steer also.

Thanks for all the replies, i guess its something i will have to deal with or tinker with until i get a result.

Mine does this as well, I have noticed it in all vehicles that had a Locked rear diff.

normal :icon_biggrin:
